I’m Not a Lions Fan

27 September, 2009

But the way they handled that win was great to see. I'm talking about going back out on the field to shake hands with the fans who stayed, cheering, after the team had gone into the locker room.

And seeing that lineman (not sure who he was) crying as he walked off the field was nice, it's always good when a professional athlete shows that they care about the game.

UPDATE
Albom's take:

New faces like Schwartz and quarterback Matthew Stafford seemed a little bemused that a city could go ape because its football team improved to 1-2. But this was the day the bleeding stopped, the avalanches ended, the floodwaters ebbed, the — oh, forget all that. They won a damn game.
